Privacy Policy

Router Tooling Ltd (RTL) is seriously committed to protecting and respecting your privacy and personal information complying with the principles of applicable data protection laws.

This policy sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it. The data controller of the personal data referred to in this policy is Router Tooling Ltd, Unit 1A, Winchester Avenue, Blaby Industrial Estate, Blaby, Leicester LE8 4GZ

We will only use the information that we collect about you lawfully in accordance with the Data Protection Act (DPA) 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The type of information we collect about you includes:

•   Your Name, address, phone number, e-mail address.

•   Purchases and orders made by you;

•   Your on-line browsing activities on Router Tooling websites;

•   Your password(s);

•   Your communication and marketing preferences;

•   Your correspondence and communications with RTL.

•   Other publicly available personal data, including any which you have shared via a public platform (such as a Twitter feed or public Facebook page).

We may also ask you for information when you report a problem or make a complaint and, if you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.

This list is not exhaustive and, in specific instances, we may need to collect additional data for the purposes set out in this Policy. Some of the above personal data is collected directly, for example when you set up an on-line account on our websites, or send an email to our customer services team. Other personal data is collected indirectly, for example your browsing or shopping activity.

We only use the information we collect about you to process orders and to provide you with the best possible service.

We do not store any credit/debit  card details.

Data Retention Period

We will hold information about you in our data systems only for as long as we need it for the purpose for which we collected it, which is as follows:

•   As long as you continue to log into our website or use our services (including engaging with emails, making purchases, entering prize draws or downloading content) we will retain and process information about you. In such cases, you will be considered to be an ‘active’ customer. If you have not been ‘active’ as a customer for a period of at least three years, RTL will usually deactivate your customer account and anonymise any personal data relating to you. However, retention periods can sometimes apply for different types of data, the longest we will normally hold any personal data is 6 years.

Promotional communications

RTL uses your personal data for electronic marketing purposes (with your consent) and may send you postal mail to update you on the latest RTL offers.

RTL aims to update you about products & services which are of interest and relevance to you as an individual/company.

You have the right to opt out of receiving promotional communications at any time, by:

•   Making use of the simple “unsubscribe” link in emails

•   Contacting RTL via the contact channels set out in this Policy.

We will not e-mail you in the future unless you have given us your consent. We will always offer the option to refuse any marketing e-mails from us.

We may use technology to track the patterns of behaviour of visitors to our site, using "cookies" which would be stored on your computer. You can usually modify your browser to prevent this happening if you wish.
